I need some help. My chow rescue passed away last year and I've been devastated but have decided that it's time for a new dog and so for months now I've been searching for a puppy with no luck.

I would have ideally liked to have found a rescue pup, but chow puppies aren't very common. I plan to adopt older rescue chow dogs in the future, but right now I am in the prime position to raise a puppy so I want to take advantage of that! So since I haven't had much luck in rescue, I've started to look into breeders. It's important for me to find a breeder who is respectable and kind to their chows as well as of course producing healthy happy dogs.

I've read a ton of reviews on different kennels and most I have found have pretty mixed reviews, so I'm left still unsure of who to go through. Most of the Kennels I've contacted have been in the $2000+ range which is of course a lot more money than a rescue would cost and if I'm spending that much, I want to make sure I'm getting the best. I'm hoping some of you can give me some tips or suggestions for where you found your chows! Anything helps. I've spent so much time looking and I just want to finally come home to an adorable fluffy face again.
